He cares in so far as it's inconsistent. No other slam does it, and they don't apply it to the women.

Now that is ridiculous! However, it does mean that Thiem could wind up in a quarterfinal against one of the big 3 and I would hope it would be Federer or Djokovic!

Nadal said 'it does not seem right', which is an opinion and not a fact, so that indicates some level of 'upset'.

Do you think it was right that Thiem played four straight days in a row at RG? Or do you think the French could have done a better job with scheduling? I mean you are so concerned about Thiem.

His lack of discretion on some things is what gets all this going. Sometimes he needs to lie a little or avoid the question. Just give b.s. answer or something.

Dreddy Brown doing his best to attempt a boycott of late rounds for The Nadal.the rusty peak injured whining bull should boycott wimbledon
Komm jetzt, Dustin!
Inconsistent?
An inconsistency that Clay has 3 x M1000 & Grass has 0?
You'd have a point if both surfaces were equally represented yet Wimbledon had it's own seeding formula.Then your/Rafa's thoughts on inconsistency would have merit.
So as you can see , the Wimbledon seeding formula is there as a result of an inconsistency from the tour .

Watch much Thiemmie on grass? I know it’s hard unless it’s the first week of Wimby...1R, 4R, 2R, 2R, 1R exits.
Good luck there, sport!

Thiem played 4 straight days because your boy Djokovic called off the SF on Friday to finish on Saturday.
Yep, and where Nadal schooled Federer in the most meaningful match of all time. Absolute love it.Welcome to grass season. Home of the MOST prestigious slam.

Nadal is GOAT according to all experts, not an indoor serve bot like Federer became post 2008

I am quoting you only so that I can have the source when I post it in the TTW Hall of Fame. Please, continue!
Only reason they manipulate the seedings at Wimbledon is to try to give Federer a cup cake draw by hoping Nadal and Djokovic tire each other out in semi final...not realising that Federer is not good enough to make the final of Majors these days so actually Wimbledon suffers by having a low quality final as it will have a tired Nadal or Djokovic v some average serve bot.
What the whole world wants is the two greatest players of all time, Nadal and Djokovic going at it in a Wimbledon final.

Who cares, he had energy for 2 hours for the final. He got screwed hard. But not to worry, next year Nadal will be even older at 34, the roof should be built by then so no scheduling issues should occur. Check mate for Pareral.

Yes, the seeding based on grass point was done yesterday for the first time ever.
You can't be for F real.
Federer 0 YE1, 0 FO, 0 USO in the last decade during peak Nadal and Djokovic...I rest my case.I am quoting you only so that I can have the source when I post it in the TTW Hall of Fame. Please, continue!

A dream is not what you build your career on.
Grass has barely any tournament at all levels, from juniors/amateurs to pro, because grass is expensive and therefore outdated.

So the French did take the intiative to play both matches at the same time due to the horrible conditions, it has been done before in 2016, they also did plan knowing bad weather was coming, to get more matches earlier to allow players adequate rest, they also looked to move the final a day later after Thiem played ? All Djokovic's fault, right?
So Nadal getting third seed is all HIS own fault, everything that happened at RG and W is within the rules and legit. Nadal won fair and square there, and if Djokovic or Federer win here while only playing one of the big three, that is fair too. Thiem knows the rules also, and he accepts them, you should too.
Nadal schooled Federer last year on grass as did better at Wimbledon, makes Wimbledon look a bit daft. But its a mickey mouse event nowadays anyway, players don't care about all that Royal Box stuff, its so 20th Century.

And he is still considered the GOAT, lmao go figure.
Looks like Nadal will just run out of time, not enough French Opens. NEED MORE FRENCH OPENS TO BEAT THE RECORD MRAAUUUUUU

You wot, mate?
Nadal went one round further than an injured Federer despite being 5 years younger. Normally I would laugh out loud but that's just Nadal so it's a huge achievement for him.
Wimbledon a mickey mouse tournament, omg LMAO. We're talking about the most prestigious tournament in tennis history here, not the French Open ROFLMAO.

Nadal no AOs in the last 10 years, no Wimbledons in the last 9 years, no WTFs in the last... LMAO
And he's 5 years younger than Federer.

What exactly is his point: that Wimbledon shouldn't have the right to determine their own seeding criteria?
To be honest I didn't read it, so I don't even know if he was making a point at all. But in general you could make the argument that it's strange for Wimbledon to be different from all other tournaments when, despite its history and traditions, it's no different than the other three majors on paper.
But even if Rafa did have a point, the fact that he only speaks out about his "issues" when it's not to his benefit makes it difficult to take him serious imho.
All the whining
Then everything is fine in the locker room

Another troll thread. Funny to see Federer fans blaming somebody on whining after all what they were saying about clay and especially the French Open.
What Nadal is saying is absolutely correct. Wimbledon's ranking system is a joke. And everybody knows it.

Wtf is meaningless exho event..not even best of 5 sets...and every player considers Olympic Gold far more prestigious than WTF and Masters 1000s.
Nadal has won AO and W beating Federer at both at his prime. When has Federer beat Nadal at FO and USO...u walked into that one lol
The saltiness of Federer fans i adore. Love how Nadal winning irks them. Its why i love Nadal as his winning gets to Federer fans.

Just imagine the meltdown here if RG would’ve introduce special seeding formula based on clay season. The whine about it being not a real Slam would last forever.

I see you're having an incredibly tough time staying in the proximity of the topic that you started. Are you gonna bring up that Federer has a bigger nose at some point?
Than who?
I didnt start this thread..a salty federer fan did lol

No need, there are 3 Masters, a Slam and a bunch of 250s and 500s for the clay courters to build up their rankings. When you're a grass specialist you literally have 1 warm-up tournament and Wimbledon. The ranking doesn't reflect the best players on grass. Someone like Mahut or Brown could easily take down a top 10/20 player at Wimbledon.

Why would anyone care about the seeding at the FO? Nadal could WC it and win the damn thing.
